The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

Nangong Yu, who was sitting next to her, felt her uneasiness because her hands kept rubbing the handle of Nangong Yu's chair.

Nangong Yu reached out and covered her hand and said:

"We'll know if your guess is right in a moment. If it is, I'll reward you with something good."

Madam Hou also said:

"Okay, let's wait and see. I guess these two were invited by them."

Nangong Yu began to play with Gu Ruoxi's fingers again:

"Then I guess they were not invited, they all came to see the old Marquis and the young Mrs. Zhu."

All of a sudden, the exposure of the truth became a guessing game.

Gu Ruoxi looked at Nangong Yu with a twinkle in her eyes. Did this man see through her or was he really just protecting her?

But the three of them were ready to make a bet, so they all looked towards the door with great interest.

When the arrogant Princess Nanliang, with the timid Gu Ruolan, the breathing Third Miss Zhu, and the conflicted Miss Zhu followed Qingqiu in, they were all startled by the three people who were staring at them.

Who stares at guests like that?

No matter whose family it is, it doesn't stop Princess Nanliang from saying something sarcastic.

"Meet Madam Hou!"

The Marquis's wife was a first-rank lady, so naturally there was no need to pay respect to her.

Her eyes shot towards Nangong Yu and Gu Ruoxi.

Nangong Yu withdrew his gaze when they came in. Only Gu Ruoxi was still looking at these people through the veil.

The princess, I heard that she is the emperor's daughter, but she looks average, not very pretty. If we really talk about facial features, she may not even be able to compare with the two from the Zhu family behind her, let alone Gu Ruolan.

But her aura is there. These people are prettier than her, but they still have to put her in the center. By the way, this is called the C position.

Neither Nangong Yu nor Gu Ruoxi bowed to her. Princess Nanliang snorted coldly:

"What? The wife of the Crown Prince is also disabled? She is indeed a concubine's daughter, uneducated!"

Nangong Yu's eyes turned cold, and he raised his head to fight back, but Gu Ruoxi held his hand back, and turned his head slightly to look at Gu Ruolan behind Princess Nanliang and said:

"Yes, yes. Anyway, everyone knows that I was ill-educated in the beginning. So, Miss Gu, when you go back to your mother's house in the future, remember to remind your mother that your father gave birth to so many concubine sisters for you. When people point at you and scold you like this when you go out, you are scolding your mother."

"But I don't care. Everyone in the capital knows that I am ill-mannered, but that was in the past. I have my mother-in-law to teach me in the future. And I didn't pay my respects to the princess today. It's really like what the princess said. I am really ill-mannered."

"So, you see, we are a perfect match, aren't we?"

Although the sound was clear and crisp, it made the faces of the people standing in the hall look very strange.

Xie Qingrou turned to Gu Ruoxi tenderly and said:

"Don't worry, kid. When you're well, I'll teach you well."

Gu Ruoxi also responded obediently:

"Okay, mother."

This scene of loving mother-in-law and filial daughter-in-law made these people unable to cope with it.

Princess Nanliang reached out and pulled Gu Ruolan out from behind:

"Come, quickly pay your respects to the Marquis's wife. Don't imitate those uneducated people. You are still worried about her, but she doesn't care about you."

Gu Ruolan stepped forward delicately and bowed.

It’s a great gift!

She knelt down!

Madam Hou frowned and stepped aside:

"What is Madam Qin doing? Don't kill me!"

Gu Ruoxi was staring at Gu Ruolan from behind the veil. This time, she seemed to be in better spirits than last time, without that broken and haggard look.

There is a hint of uh...the shyness and charm of a newlywed young woman.

Gu Ruoxi was surprised. How could she be so contented in such a situation? Was she born to be a lowly person?

Wow, this kind of open-style one is rare in the apocalypse. I didn’t expect to see one here.

It seems that when I get tired of studying with my mother-in-law, I can eat some gossip about this person. If nothing else, it’s exciting!

Nangong Yu felt the change in Gu Ruoxi's eyes under the veil. He looked at Gu Ruoxi twice more and didn't even look at Gu Ruolan.

Suddenly he stretched out his hand and took a piece of gold and jade from the table beside him and put it directly into the little mouth under the veil.

As for food, Gu Ruoxi naturally accepted it all, and said while holding something in her mouth:

"I told you to go back to the yard to eat later, didn't I?"

Nangong Yu also said softly:

"It's still a little warm now and tastes good. When it gets cold it will become a little hard and not as delicious."

Xie Qingrou also smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter. Ling'er, eat if you like. I've asked the kitchen to prepare it, and I'll send you a plate this afternoon. Don't eat it if it's cold. Eating cold food is not good for your health."

Princess Nanliang is full of coldness!

You family! There are three guests standing and one guest kneeling. How do you treat guests like this?

Is this for us to see?

Gu Ruolan was the most embarrassed, kneeling on the ground, not knowing whether to stand up or kowtow.

No one paid any attention to her.

Princess Nanliang was angry and vented it directly:

"Madam Hou! Is this your way of entertaining guests? Didn't you say that the Xie family..."

"Does the princess have any objection to the Xie family's treatment of guests?"

The princess turned around after hearing the voice and saw Madam Liu and Nanny Yang walking in.

Madam Liu's face was dark. The princess was startled for a moment, turned her head and glared at Xie Qingrou and the others. Then she bowed to Madam Liu:

"Nan Liang has seen mother."

Liu was actually only a fourth-rank official, and her position was not as high as that of the princess. The princess saluted her, and she turned aside and saluted the princess instead:

"I have met the princess."

The princess's expression became even uglier.

According to etiquette, her status is higher than that of her mother-in-law, so her mother-in-law should bow to her.

However, if she bowed to her mother-in-law and her mother-in-law accepted it, it would be fine as it showed her filial piety.

But the mother-in-law bowed to her according to her position. Although it was correct in terms of etiquette, it was quite strange in terms of affection!

After Madam Liu bowed, she ignored the princess and took two steps forward, then saw Gu Ruolan, who was still kneeling there in embarrassment.

"Hey, Madam Qin is kneeling here..."

Xie Qingrou replied calmly:

"I don't know. The princess brought her here and asked her to kneel down and pay respect to me. It's really embarrassing for me! Madam Liu happened to be here, so I just wanted to ask her, how did my Nangong family offend the princess? Why do you humiliate me like this?"

Princess Nanliang's face changed. Why did she become dependent on her own mother-in-law?

"Madam Hou, I am not the one who humiliated you. It was Miss Gu who said she wanted to explain to you that the concubine's daughter forcibly swapped the marriage after she learned that the prince was about to wake up. How shameless!"

Gu Ruoxi stood up suddenly, but immediately sat down with a hiss and stroked her legs, but her head was pointed at Princess Nanliang and she shouted:

"Is what the princess said true? Bring me the evidence. Miss Gu said I wanted to marry someone else? If I'm not mistaken, the Second Young Master Qin is here today, right? How about calling him over to ask him together? Miss Gu, do you want to leave the Qin family and enter the Nangong family again? How did the Second Young Master Qin abuse you? You wanted to remarry after only a few days of marriage?"
